What If The Presidential Candidates Were Our Favorite Movie Characters?

The 2016 Presidential election will most likely go down as one of the most controversial, weird and crazy elections in American history. But, what if the presidential candidates were actually characters from our favorite movies? Plot Twist!


Jill Stein: The Invisible Woman


Jill who? Well, she holds the current record for the most votes ever received by a woman candidate for President in the general election. According to her website, she’s also a mother, organizer, physician, environmental-health advocate and Green Party nominee. However, she’s basically the Invisible Woman in the 2016 election.

Sorry Jill, maybe next time.


Bernie Sanders aka Jedi Master

Bernie Sanders hasn’t been around for 900 years like Yoda, but he’s definitely experienced. His career includes having been a mayor, congressman, senator and presidential candidate. He focused his campaign on enlightening the minds of the youth with his ideas about socialism and free education. Similarly, Yoda taught “The Force” to young Jedi and helped them fight back against the Dark Side.



Hillary Clinton or Dolores Umbridge?

You knew this one was coming. The political agendas of Ms. Umbridge and Senator Clinton are very similar. Ms. Umbridge was power hungry and ambitious to become the Headmistress of Hogwarts. She was supposedly on the good side, working with the government to defend the wizarding world. Yet, her real agenda was to become the Headmistress and establish total control. But, wait she’s only doing this for the good and welfare of the children…


Gary Johnson: Willie Nelson


I can totally picture Gary Johnson and Willie Nelson passing a joint back and forth, discussing animal rights and environmental issues. I don’t know if I could picture Gary Johnson or Willie Nelson being the President of the United States. But hey, I’m down for legalizing weed. #votenumber2


Donald Trump: Ironman


Donald Trump: Genius billionaire playboy philanthropist? Donald Trump is basically the politicized version of Tony Stark. Mr. Trump is boundlessly arrogant, claims a net worth of $8.7 billion dollars and mostly has no filter. But, that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t count him out. If Tony Stark could clean up his act and save the world, I’m counting on Trump to do the same.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
